From its hotels to its country jaunts, each season offers a different experience and each location, inn, hotel and restaurant has a different take on the beauty of the area and everything it has to offer. Having recently published their 46th edition, here the Good Hotel Guide shares a selection of their top hotels to visit in Yorkshire in 2023. Have a look through our gallery of the hotels below, and find out more about the Good Hotel Guide here.
5. Newbegin House, Beverley
Filled with antiques, books, curios and family photographs, all set against shuttered windows, polished-wood floors, chandeliers and marble fireplaces, Newbegin House is an eclectic haven for visitors. Bathrooms are spacious and traditional, while rooms are cosy. The whole place has a feeling of being at home, from the sherry that greets you in your room to the fresh flowers around the property. Surrounded by a pretty garden, this B&B offers five-star customer service from the beautiful breakfasts to the sense of tranquillity it provides. https://newbeginhousebbbeverley.co.uk Photo: Good Hotel Guide
6. Brocco on the Park, Sheffield
A former Cesar Award winner, Brocco on the Park is an Edwardian park-side villa, updated with light and spacious Scandi chic interiors that’s become well known both as a hotel and restaurant. The interiors are contemporary with accents of colour in the rooms, lending it a fresh feel. For an extra touch of whimsy you can choose to stay in the top-floor Dove room, where Picasso is said to have stayed in 1950. No doubt the artist enjoyed the views across the treetops towards Derbyshire, although he would not have had the advantage of the freestanding copper bath at that time. The attention to detail is notable - you might even get cake and fizz at 5.30 before heading to a sumptuous dinner by candlelight in the evening. http://www.brocco.co.uk/ Photo: Good Hotel Guide
7. The Devonshire Arms, Bolton Abbey
Part of the Duke of Devonshire’s Yorkshire estate at Bolton Abbey, The Devonshire Arms is a 17th-century inn turned country house hotel. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and grounds, the inn is complete with its own spa, while other recommended activities include a walk to the Abbey ruins nearby. They do afternoon teas and post-dinner drinks with aplomb, and welcome everyone from families, to couples, to four-legged friends thanks to a choice of rooms and suites to stay in. https://devonshirehotels.co.uk/ Photo: Good Hotel Guide
8. Middlethorpe Hall & Spa, York
Spacious and secluded, set amongst the most spectacularly tranquil gardens, Middlethorpe Hall is owned by the National Trust. On the outside, its grand architecture greets you, while inside it’s all fire-lit halls and beautifully furnished rooms. The hotel sits in 20 acres of gardens and parkland, which beckon you to explore at all times of the year. Stay in elegant rooms either in the main house or the newer courtyard area, all equipped with books, flowers, fruit and delicious home-made biscuits. Enjoy time in the spa within the grounds, then start your evening with canapés before a feast of traditional fare. http://www.middlethorpe.com Photo: Good Hotel Guide
